Chapter 361: The Church of the Cross

At dawn, Luo Wei woke up in a nightmare, wet with cold sweat all over his body, now is the lowest temperature, and the heating in the hotel can't withstand the severe cold, and it is terrifyingly cold.

Luo Wei opened the curtains, the morning sun on the horizon had already shown its head, and the stars in the night sky were also obscured by the brighter and brighter light, although they were still in the distance, but they were no longer visible.

Luo Wei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Today is the day to make an appointment with Al, because it is not an official trip, and there is no need to wear a military uniform, Luo Wei has resumed the original combination of cloak and bandage.

The introverted Al is a very obedient person, and at 7:30 she was already waiting at the door of the hotel despite the bitter cold, and although she was dressed thickly, her face was still red from the cold.

When she saw Luo Wei, Al couldn't help but be stunned, she had been used to "military uniform Luo Wei" in the past few days, but she didn't expect to see "Lone Wolf Luo Wei" again, this dress reminded her of the scene when she first met Luo Wei.

Al said politely, "Glory to my lord, Luo Wei, please come with me." ”

The two boarded the special car, because Al is essentially a member of the Cross Church and does not belong to the Radiance of the Republic, so he is considered a foreigner here, and he is dedicated all year round, and in a sense, he also belongs to the "ambassador".

Therefore, out of respect for them, the Eagle Banner sent several people to escort them to the airport along the way.

International flights were ready, and there were fewer people traveling with them, a handful of missionaries who were just like Al and ready to return home.

The destination of this trip is the Vatican, located in the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy in the old era, once the center of world Catholicism, the seat of the center of the Holy See headed by the Pope, and the new era of the Crucifixion Church has been used here as the center, and it is a sacred and inviolable territory in the hearts of the faithful.

International flights are more advanced and faster, but because of the longer routes, people arrive in the evening.

After getting off the plane, when the first wisp of air penetrated the tip of the nose, Luo Wei's reaction was heaven!

Unlike the wilderness, which is full of war and gunsmoke, the air here is almost free of impurities, as if it has been purified by the gods, and there is no trace of gloom in the air, which is as beautiful as a pure land on earth.

It is a city full of ancient atmosphere, with buildings carved with mysterious patterns and huge stone pillars looming in the temple, making people stop and sigh at the precipitation of time.

Locho and Al boarded the car and headed towards the center, and in the twilight of the night, the huge church in the distance soon caught Rome's eyes.

It is a vast parish, centered around a Gothic church, with many beautiful buildings stretching outward, beautiful roses entwined in the walls, and a few worshippers sitting in the garden, holding a cross in their hands, whispering the Bible and praying for their fate.

The magnificent cathedral stands under the night sky, its spire seems to penetrate the earth, blends with the ink overhead, exudes a solemn and sacred atmosphere, and its presence dispels the confusion in the hearts of believers and brings them hope for life.

I have to say that this place is so beautiful, it is unimaginably beautiful, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Luo Wei couldn't believe that there was such a place in the Honkai Era.

"Glory to my lord, welcome to the Vatican Basilica, where I will lead two bishops who will lead us out of the darkness." The devout believers bowed slightly to Luo Wei and Al, and the cross hanging on their chests also leaned forward slightly, which was very eye-catching.

Al quickly returned the salute, and Luo Wei followed the local customs and nodded in acknowledgment.

Under the guidance of the believers, Luo Wei walked into this huge church, and the first thing that jumped into his eyes was the spacious atrium of the church, with rows of dark benches standing neatly, like sacred guards.

A red carpet spreads from the aisle to the front of the altar, the walls around which are covered with religious frescoes and stained glass, and the small tables where candles burn to dispel the darkness of the spacious atrium.

Inside the church at this time, several priests were sitting on benches, holding hands and bowing their heads in prayer.

The Church of the Cross is divided into two groups, one dressed in white robes, who are doctrinal scholars, believers, or nuns, who are responsible for maintaining the normal functioning of the church, such as Al.

The other group is dressed in black, in Catholicism, black represents death and the end of the world, and the cross is a sign of faith, these people are basically knights of the Cross Church, and the armored giant spear is their symbol, with the courage of never retreating to protect the glory of the Lord, and declare war on heresy who dare to slander the Church.

For example... The man who is now hidden in the shadows of the candlelight...

Luo Wei's gaze shifted slightly, looking at the other party.

It was a man in a black uniform, with a little pale hair dyed red by candlelight, indicating that he was no longer young, but judging from his vigorous and powerful body, he had not yet been eroded by the years, and was as majestic as a giant brown bear.

The man's face was wearing a miserable white mask, without any patterns and carvings, and two pairs of eyes that seemed to be non-human emitted an eerie cold light behind the mask, like the eyes of a wild beast predatoring, and the bloody breath was released without reservation.

Contrary to all of this, he carried a Bible in his arms, a symbol of faith...

At the same time that Luo Wei looked at the man, the other party was also looking back at Luo Wei, and they all locked on each other, in case there was any abnormal movement, it was difficult to say what would happen next.

Al seemed to notice Lorco's gaze, she gently grabbed Lorco's sleeve and whispered, "That's Father Frederick, he doesn't like to be stared at..."

He has killed a lot of people, a lot! Luo Wei came to this conclusion in his mind.

The priest's eyes were cold, and there was lingering blood, and the only thing that could identify him was the Bible in his hand and the cross on his chest, otherwise it would be impossible to associate him with the Crucifixion.

But in Luo Wei's opinion, this person is like a beast locked in a cross, with sharp teeth and fangs, as long as the restraint is lifted, it is likely to bring a bloody storm.

Of course, Luo Wei didn't say much, the Cross Church can become one of the giants of the new era, its huge combat power cannot be ignored, since there is a battle, it will definitely kill, and if you want to kill, there must be an evolutionary, otherwise what to use to clear the Honkai? With peace and love?

After Lochou withdrew his gaze, Father Frederick also bowed his head silently, and flipped through the Bible in his hand by candlelight.

In the vast Holy See, Luo Wei met all kinds of people, most of whom worked in this central hub were white-robed cultists, but there was also no shortage of backbones who guarded the headquarters.

Luo Wei even saw the legendary "Knights of the Round Table", the highest combat power of the Crucifixion, which was reminiscent of the final battle of the Northern Expedition.

In that battle, Arthur Pendragon, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, resolutely challenged the cold kite when all his members were intimidated, and although he died violently under the dragon's might, his courage and faith touched many troubadours, and they composed legendary songs for him, and became famous for centuries.
